The Senators acquired Shannon from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for defenseman Lawrence Nycholat on Sept. 2.

The native of Darien, Conn., split the 2007-08 campaign between Vancouver and its AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose. Shannon, who won the 2007 Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks, recorded career NHL season highs in goals (5) and points (13) in 27 games with the Canucks. In 13 games with the Moose, the 5-9, 171-pound right-winger had eight points (one goal and seven assists) and 10 penalty minutes. He joined Vancouver on June 23, 2007, following a trade with the Anaheim Ducks for Jason King and future considerations.

In 80 regular-season NHL games over two seasons, he has seven goals, 17 assists and 34 penalty minutes.
